How to keep your home air safe during major renovation projects

Construction creates significant dust, which can be hazardous for residents and workers. This video demonstrates a professional approach to air quality management by installing a ducted system during a home renovation, ensuring a safer environment for everyone on site.

During the renovation of a historic home in Saratoga, general contractor Tom Silva and builder Matt Whitbeck implemented a specialized strategy to manage construction dust. Because the homeowner's mother remained in her apartment throughout the project, the team installed a ducted system throughout the house to mitigate airborne particles.

This approach highlights the importance of proactive air quality control in residential construction. By integrating modern technology into the renovation process, contractors can protect the health of occupants and workers alike, demonstrating that even significant structural work does not have to compromise indoor air safety.
